Sylle 1 Posted March 15, 2012 Hi BIS, Congrats with the release of your first DLC! I updated my ToH install to version 1.05 tonight and I would like some clarification on following points. Compatibility with Take On Helicopters: Hinds What does this compatibility encompasses?? Does this mean for example that someone without the Hind DLC will be able to fly a light helicopter in MP against someone (that bought the Hinds DLC and) that is flying a Mi24?? Retractable Landing Gear System support added Is this also valid for the heavy helicopter? I tried but didn't manage to raise the gear. I also noticed the torque instrumentation for the twin engine helicopters now shows identical values for both engines. Thanks for fixing this! Regards, Sylvain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1124 Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) compatibility: correcting my statement, it's merely for the flightmodel and controls etc. there is no MP compatibility between DLC and non-DLC content variants of the game ---------- Post added at 23:30 ---------- Previous post was at 22:06 ---------- Heavy will get retractable landing gear (now it only got taxiing so far) in future updates ...

DnA 5018 Posted March 16, 2012 Thanks Sylle! Compatibility with Take On Helicopters: HindsWhat does this compatibility encompasses?? As Dwarden points out, this is meant to imply the Take On Helicopters main game has been made compatible for Hinds technology, which means even people without Hinds get this technology. Some benefits of this you will see soon in patches: Heavy helicopter with retractable landing gear, Light and Medium variants with SACLOS TOW. Other changes are under-the-hood, such as initial work on more flexible weapon proxies on vehicles. For this reason you'll see the FAB bombs work better in the Hinds DLC, than in previous games. There's also been AI improvements, for example giving gunners with Thermal Imagery optics an advantage in spotting enemies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hon0 10 Posted March 16, 2012 Such as initial work on more flexible weapon proxies on vehicles. Sorry my english is not perfect. Does it mean we'll soon be able to shoot from a helo with rifle? This is something i'm waiting since a long time ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DnA 5018 Posted March 16, 2012 Does it mean we'll soon be able to shoot from a helo with rifle? Heh, no this particular effort is to allow multiple different types of proxy-based weapons on one model ... e.g. bombs and missiles, and have them fire from the accurate position.

beepee 10 Posted March 16, 2012 Does it mean we'll soon be able to shoot from a helo with rifle? Heh, no [...] Will it ever be possible? Do you BIS plan to implement such feature? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1124 Posted March 16, 2012 Will it ever be possible? Do you BIS plan to implement such feature? well as seen in the ShackTac video rlN99dqNKy0 it's already possible to achieve for mod makers ... it's not native solution, can't be used everywhere and anytime but it's good start Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
